Thank you for the straight answer. This is a disappointment. I did indeed search for the 111b release for example but was never able to find the branch. I track a lot of bugs which affect my systems. But only a certain development branch gives me the assurance that it was fixed. One can see the fix in the repository and can track the bug in bugs.opensolaris.org. But not for a release, they are never mentioned. Yes, I'm aware of bugzilla but none for me relevant bugs are tracked there. If I understand your explanation correctly than there's no way to find out what is actually in a release. Not only what was fixed but also the code is not available. That rather contradicts the OPEN part of opensolaris. Finally updates were never available. One could wait till the next release or switch to a development branch. Take the 2009.06 release with the broken CIFS part. A major service was broken and a fix was never available apart from switching to a dev branch.
I don't want to sound ungrateful. I'm very thank for the great features osol has given us. But the releases are a complete black box without updates and the source for a release isn't available. I think the source can be delivered without much cost and will give a lot of users peace of mind. If I'm wrong or out of line please let me know.
